I see that c/3982 doesn't say what version of binutils was used.

If you have any version of binutils installed on Solaris, I suggest always
specifying --with-as=... and --with-ld=... to configure.  Anything else is
error prone.  (I found out the hard way.)

Don't simply say --with-gnu-as/--with-gnu-ld and assume gcc will
somehow find binutils.  You must also give it --with-as/--with-ld.

Your problem may be related to the OP's, however I haven't personally
tested 2.5.1, so I can't say for sure it doesn't have problems with the
dynamic linker.

You might like to try the 3.1 compiler since that's where bugs are
actively being fixed now.  (There may or may not be another 3.0.x
release.)
